The Health Benefits Of Lions Mane

You may already be aware that Lion’s Mane is considered a superfood, but you may not know why it is considered a superfood. As previously mentioned, Lion’s Mane is best known for its healing benefits on the brain.

However, what many people may not realize is that Lion’s Mane has the ability to stimulate the new growth of neural pathways that are in the brain. This means that it has powerful implications for helping patients with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other types of neuropathy.

Lion’s Mane not only can help to improve brain function, it may also provide relief for those who are suffering from depression and anxiety. Preliminary studies have revealed that it may be able to do this by upregulating neurogenesis via the hippocampus of mice. The part of the brain is believed to be responsible for regulating the memory and emotional responses.

There is additional evidence that depression and anxiety may be caused by neurological inflammation. Given the fact that one of Lions Mane benefits is anti-inflammatory properties, it could be another reason why the mushroom has the potential to eliminate those unwanted emotional responses.
